GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

For the 5 years I've been going to in this school it is very welcoming and all the staffs are really kind and supportive, the food could be better but it is as good as it's going to be. I'd like to see more field trips for all the grades but it is what they can do for now that I appreciate. I'm glad I was able to go to this school because if it wasn't for them all the opportunities they had I could have missed if they didn't tell me.

I would say this school was my second home for the pass 6 years. I felt welcomed at first and comfortable. As the years went on, a lot of things happened but that's besides the point. I feel like if we had more colored teachers then the school would function amazing. We have great support and all that good stuff here at DMLK but I always think there is place for improvement.
